Multiplex wing locks

[billscottni]

Anybody much experience of Multiplex winglocks? Thinking of using them on a project

Still stuck on elastic bands or tape Bill! It always struck me that you could crease the wing root with the wedge that they use to pop the lock. Maybe I'm wrong tho.

I have them on many mpx models. They work well and are a good energy release mechanism on a less than prefect landing!!!
They come with several different size units depending on the lenght of the wing panel, longer wing more force required to release.
Releasing is usually obtained by a swift tap on the LE as far out as possible while holding the fuse close to the body.

What are you going to use it with?

They are perfect for that.

Just saying!
